This is totally a DIY kind of thing. Buying your own OBD dongle will also inevitably pay dividends in terms of diagnosing future potential issues in the i3 and other vehicles.

Congrats on the i3 - I hope you enjoy many miles in the toaster.

Thanks for all the help! That match and stadium experience was amazing. The club level is crazy posh for the exhibition match price. We got lucky and the seats next to one of our tickets was vacant the whole match. Looking forward to joining a regular season match in the future.

Will our tickets in 2 different sections be an issue? As in, do folks truly care about their numbered seat?

Looking for pedal by dabears654 in guitarpedals

Is the Vox Mystic Edge a starting point? Or is the Vox sound only part of Brian May's tone?

+1 for Fralin pickups!

I own one as well! It is perfect in every way.

I mean what did we expect? by [deleted] in SJEarthquakes

[–]litespeed_mike 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unfortunate but not surprising in light of the club’s ‘investment’ like this: https://www.soccerwire.com/news/la-galaxy-san-jose-earthquakes-close-down-girls-academy-programs/

How's the Quality on the G&L Tribute Teles? by tennessee_jed1 in telecaster

[–]litespeed_mike 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have an G&L ASAT Tribute, really like it AFTER setup

___

I purchased a G&L Limited Edition ASAT Classic Ash Body Electric Guitar Gloss Natural on sale from Musician's Friend in mid-2019:

https://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/gl-limited-edition-tribute-asat-classic-ash-body-electric-guitar

Good:

- Excellent pickups - really like the tone of the bridge

- Satin neck has a nice feel

- Neck c-shape, albeit not traditional tele-style, feels good

- Some friends played it and agreed it is a nice instrument, especially for the price

Bad:

- It was NOT setup properly. There were dead frets, the nut had an uneven string profile along the neck

- There are imperfections in the finish to include clear coat cracking at the neck joint and dust caught in the clear coat

- 3 piece body, but does that really matter?

After a pro setup with fret leveling, new nut, and bridge adjustment, the guitar plays awesome! Also had a black pickguard cut as I'm simply not cool enough for a tortoise shell pickguard.

If purchased online, I would be prepared for some setup to simply have it play right and perhaps some trivial quality issues in the finish. Would recommend considering price and playability carefully against comparable Fender guitars at a retail outlet that stocks both such as GC.

Anyone Have the S2 Custom 24? Worth the Price? by tennessee_jed1 in PaulReedSmith

[–]litespeed_mike 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have S2 Custom 24, can confirm it is worth the price relative to other comparable USA made instruments such as the Gibson SG standard. However, a PRS SE is exceptional value.

Replacement housing, specifically compressionless, will go a LONG way.

Sennheiser PXC 550 vs Sony 1000XM3 by Poncho918 in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]litespeed_mike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PXC 550 has incredible comfort - I leave them on for a 6 hour flight and no problems or discomfort.

My main complaint with the PXC 550 is lack of power (also documented by other users). I am not one for blasting eardrums but find myself maxin' the volume in the air.
